Knowing that Sky Ferreira also cries in bathrooms before interviews is giving me much peace of mind this fine Tuesday.
In our new digital cover story, @SkyFerreira talks to us about growing up, getting advice from Michael Jackson, and releasing new music for the first time in six years →

sobering that people still assume publications hire proofreaders when those same pubs won’t even pay their full time staff a living wage.

i'm sorry but i'm not sure what the "i don't want to hear from men today" shtick is supposed to accomplish? aside from the fact that abortion rights impact all genders, i want to know exactly who supports my health and safety and i want as many voices as possible demanding it.
